As far as I know IBC use Metroliners and Saab 340s for their cargo operations.

The NTSB concluded they crew overstressed the aircraft when recovering from a loss of control. However the aircraft had neither CVR or FDR, nor was it required to (the CVR had been removed when converted for cargo use), hampering the investigation.

NTSB Report Summary (http://aerossurance.com/air-accidents-incidents/ntsb-pr-sa227-metro-iii-loc-i/)

As the wings failed, the propellers simultaneously chopped through the fuselage behind the cockpit [and] the horizontal stabilizers...also failed upward.

Wreckage:

having visited the assembly plant i saw that the wing..yes one piece main spar until 5 ft from each tip with titanium spar cap is very strong, must have been one heck of a G load to break that!

Definitely a dramatic manoeuvr to fail the wing.
